> Through all of this I was never really satisfied with the options that were out there for long-form writing. Wordpress required too much setup. Tumblr's system for comments remains insane. Hosting my own seemed like too much money to burn on something nobody might read.
But at the same time, Substack's success proves that there is very much a desire for long-form writing, enough that people will pay for it, and that investors will back it. There are thoughts and forms of writing that you simply cannot fit into a post or even a thread of posts.
Plus, I'm loathe to enable a centralised platform like Substack where the owners are unfortunately friendly to fascists.[^substack]
[^substack]: I am very much a fan of freedom of expression. I'm not so much a fan of paying money to Nazis.
That's where the `at://` protocol and Weaver comes in.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yfvwmnlztr4dwkb7hwz55r2g/bafkreicdsl3uorvig2dpljjcyiqoms5ojsg3z6d75lihpsb4wdojlhyo6y)
. I've written more about one aspect of its design philosophy and architecture [here](https://alpha.weaver.sh/did:plc:yfvwmnlztr4dwkb7hwz55r2g/Jacquard/Jacquard%20Magic) but since that post I've added a couple pretty powerful features and I needed to give them a shakedown run. One was runtime lexicon resolution and schema validation. The other was the new tools for working with generic atproto data without strong types, like the path query syntax and functions.
